> *Security Impact*:
> Hostname Verification is required to verify the identity of the other party. Bypassing it could allow man-in-the-middle attacks.
> *Useful Resources*:
> [https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/297.html]
> *Solution we suggest:*
> Do not customize the HostnameVerifier or specify the verification logic instead of allowing all hostnames. 
> *Please share with us your opinions/comments if there is any:*
> Is the bug report helpful?
